No-Sew Upholstered Chair

Yup, you heard me! Miriam Webster defines Upholster as "to put a covering of cloth, leather, etc., on (a piece of furniture, such as a couch or chair). Well friends, that's exactly what I did with this boxy dining room chair that almost everyone I know has a version of. OK, maybe Americana Fabric Decoupage didn't exist when they wrote the definition, but I'm going to compose a persuasive letter to old Miriam and see if we can add a little side note! This process works on vinyl, leather and smooth fabric covered chairs. Just make sure you use a generous amount of the decoupage so it becomes "part" of the existing fabric. Choose cotton with big, bold patterns that you can cut out and arrange to fit the shape of your furniture. Remember, have fun and make messes!
